Bulls Daisies Rewarded With Big Turnout In Bok Women's Touring Squad For France, Spain

Faith Tshauke and Xolelwa Diliza, the uncapped Bulls Daisies pair, have been named in the 32-player Springbok Women squad for a short tour of France and Spain.

Utility forward Tshaukes inclusion comes as no surprise as she was a standout performer in the recently completed Womens Premier Division, won by the Daisies for a third year running.

Hooker Diliza comes in for Micke Gunter, who was ruled out of the tour after picking up a knee injury in the final.

Their Daisies team-mate Lerato Makua is back in the group after injury kept her out of action for a full international season, but overall, Swys de Bruin and his coaching group have shown faith in the tried and tested in announcing the squad, which Nolusindiso Booi will captain.

Faith had a great season for the Daisies, and her versatility counts in her favour as she covers all loose forward positions and can play lock. She reminds me a bit of Franco Mostert with her work rate and adaptability, said De Bruin.
